## 🔒 Critical Code Injection Vulnerability in RSOLV NodeGoat Demo Repository
A critical security vulnerability has been identified in the RSOLV-dev/nodegoat-vulnerability-demo repository. The vulnerability is classified as Code Injection (CWE-94, OWASP A03:2021) with a confidence level of 80%. The issue is located in the file `app/routes/contributions.js` at line 32, where the `eval()` function is used with unsanitized user input (`req.body.preTax`). This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the application's context, potentially leading to complete system compromise. The vulnerability is present in a single instance within one file. The recommendation is to avoid using `eval()` and similar dynamic code execution functions entirely. Safe alternatives like `JSON.parse()` should be used for data parsing. If dynamic code execution is absolutely necessary, implementation must include sandboxed environments and strict input validation. The finding was generated by the RSOLV security scanner on March 4, 2026, for the 'main' branch.
